Midnight blue walls, vintage decor, images of the Virgin Mary and votive candles… In this welcoming cantina opened in 2023 by the Belgian-Mexican restaurateur Amandine-Darmstaedter and Tom, her brother and partner, we raise our glasses of margaritas or their unbeatable clamato (beer with spicy tomato juice and lime). Before digging in to a mouthwatering sea bream ceviche with cucumber, escabèche and totopos (homemade corn chips); tacos al pastor with marinated pork, onion and pineapple, an incredibly tender affair; Angus flank steak grilled on the plancha and served under peppers; or some stunning grilled halloumi and black bean chalupitas served with lime, avocado and chili. And to round out this mexicano trip, cardamon and vanilla churros, bathed in pomegranate and hibiscus syrup. // Rémi Nigaut
